soap sack pattern

So this is the finished thing, doesnt look like much but its really effective as a shower or bath scrubber and it holds your soap so you know where it is. This one is made with some left over yarn from a long time ago. Its a very thin yarn so I knitted it up on size 6.5mm needles to make a large gauge. this pattern can be changed into a lace pattern but I just used garter stitch. 

Pattern

Cast On 30 stitches on 5-7mm needles (size of the needles depends on the yarn type)
Knit several rows until you get a square swatch then cast off or use a 3 needle bind off if you can (I learned how to do that for the first time last night so I'm chuffed ;) )
Fold over and sew up the sides to make a bag.
Use a yarn needle and the same yarn as the project to make a draw string across the top. sew 1/2 inch stitches and leave enough room to secure the soap in the bag.

Adaptions

Use whatever stitch you want or are able to do, this is a good way to practice tricky patterns because if it only for you, only you will see it. this can be made in any type of yarn or wool you have lurking.
